Frank Solich was Ohio's head football coach from 2005-2020 and became the winningest head coach in MAC history with 115 overall victories. His 77 conference-only wins rank second to former Central Michigan head coach Herb Deromedi's 90. Solich owns a career coaching record of 173-101. His 173 overall wins rank as the fourth most active among NCAA FBS head coaches. His 16 years of service match Deromedi's (1978-93) for the most in MAC history. Ohio was 115-82 during the Solich era. His 115 victories are the second-most in program history behind Don Peden (121; 1924-46). Ohio's conference record was 77-46 during the Solich era. Ohio has had a run of 12-straight non-losing seasons that has included 11 winning campaigns and six years with at least nine victories— including a 10-win campaign in 2011. The 2012 season began with the Bobcats earning a signature win at Penn State, upsetting the Nittany Lions by a score of 24-14. Ohio captured division titles in 2006, 2009, 2011 and 2016. Solich led the Bobcats to 11 of their 13 bowl appearances and the first five bowl victories in program history, with back-to-back wins in the 2011 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl and '12 Independence Bowl and back-to-back-to-back victories in the 2017 Bahamas Bowl, '18 DXL Frisco Bowl and '20 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (2019 season).
